[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 155490, member: 1233"] Thank you for posting this. One of the reasons seats CAN become unsafe is that the materials are exposed to extreme heat and cold. They can lose their strenght and then not protect the child. Thank you for becoming involved in this organization (by the way, can you post a link to the org?) because the babies and young children NEED volunteers like you to help out. I am glad today's event was not as bad as some others in the respect of seeing children in very unsafe car seats. Does your group post recommended ages and SIZES for children to be in car seats? Around here LOTS of parents feel that if the child is able to be in kindergarten then automatically they don't need car seats anymore. And then the peer pressure begins. My son was teased endlessly for being in a car seat until he looked at one little boy and said, "My mommy and daddy love me enough to MAKE me be safe. Why don't yours?" It wasn't something we told him. I just think it was the way his mind worked. I am deeply disturbed that the POLICE OFFICER who picks his child up from our elementary school has said NOTHING to the woman who puts 7 (SEVEN) children in her station wagon. She puts coats and backpacks on top of them so she won't get a ticket. The OLDEST child is 7 and WAY too small to be out of a booster seat. They live on the street next to us, I have offered to help out - give seats, rides, etc.... The OFFICER will not say anything, even when the 2yo is clearly sitting on another child's lap. And calls to the Police station have done nothing. It saddens me greatly to see this. I APPRECIATE you taking up this fight. Hugs, [/QUOTE]
